And that makes me wonder whether attribution of the Bruniquel Cave to Neanderthals is justified. I haven't seen any mention of Neanderthal remains found there; the only evidence seems to be the age of a burnt bear bone, carbon-dated to 47,600 years ago. This was back in the 90s [1], when Sapiens were not thought to have reached Europe until later. We know better now [2].
